I can understand your happiness, that's what I felt like when I received my Doctor V64 from Britain

Much better than my computer, it's a 1.2ghz Duron with 384MB ram and a 32mb Geforce 2 GTS.

It runs Project64 and my GTP beta fine though. I don't really play commerical games so I don't see a reason to upgrade anytime soon.

Wow, my computer is better than yours.

I could use some more RAM, but my video card (GeForce 6600) is good enough for my purposes.

Power Mac G5 (1/8" thick anodized aluminum case)
dual-core PowerPC G5 2.3 GHz
512 MB RAM (up to 16 GB)
250 GB SATA 7200 RPM (plus another bay)
SuperDrive (16x DVDÂ±R/RW DL CD-RW)
nVIDIA GeForce 6600 256 MB VRAM (16x PCIe)
modded with cold cathodes

It's possibly the easiest computer to do work on as well, as the only things that require screwdrivers are the PCIe card mounting screws.

my compy's pretty good except for the horrible videocard and small hard drives (a 15gb for windows and a 6gb for linux). if i get around to upgrading those it could be pretty pwnage.

it's 1330mhz (it needs 7 more mhz

) AMD w/ 512mb ram. i really want a TV tuner so i don't have to watch my old 12" B/W TV that scrolls the picture up and down after being on for 10 minutes.

My PC sucks at RAM and Gfx

COnsidering it cost Â£800!!! Direct conversion to dollars would be $1400'ish.

I've got my awesome upgraded PowerMac G4 Cube-

1.8 Ghz G4
896 of RAM
Radeon 7500 (only 32 VRAM...)
160 GB internal
320 GB external
and the coolest computer casing ever!

I would have to agree with you. The Cube is amazingâ€¦

@Daguuy: I'd like a TV tuner too, but it seems that PCIe is mainly limited to video cards (and I only have PCIe slotsâ€¦). If anyone knows of a PCIe TV tuner (preferably with S-Video or component as well), please notify me.

Nice! Here's my primary PC:

3.0 ghz Celeron or P4. (I forget and the processor didn't come with a sticker...

)
1 gig RAM
160 gig HD (full of Linux ISOs and videos)
ATI RADEON 9200 128 MB graphics card
Windows XP Professional SP1 (I hate SP2, and I'm not completely comfortable with working with Linux, mostly with debugging and the bash shell, so I don't want to run it as a primary OS just yet)
Microstar International (MSI) PM8M-V motherboard

Total cost: $250 USD

My laptop:
Toshiba Sattelite Pro
500mhz P3
15 GB HD
DVD-ROM
Windows XP Professional SP1

If I find one really cheap I may buy a cheapo Wal-Mart PC just to mess around with. (my current tinker PC is pretty slow, P2 300.

)
